GOLF superstars Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm are going head-to-head in Augusta.
The pair are at the top of the leaderboard, vying for the green jacket and Masters supremacy.

Jon Rahm is also in contention at Augusta
But, away from the course they are streets apart.
Koepka, 32, boasts a bigger net worth, as well a stunning home on Jupiter Island, Florida.
While, Rahm, 28, is married to stunner Kelley Cahill, after they got together in 2017.
Here’s how their incredible lifestyles compare.
Fortune
Having moved to the LIV Golf League, Koepka has seen his net worth swell.
He is now worth a staggering £40million, according to reports.
Koepk also has sponsorship partnerships with Srixon, Rolex, Netjets, as well brands Nike and Michelob Ultra.
Rahm is said to be worth a lot less at around the £12million mark.
He signed a deal with Mercedes back in 2018, and is also affiliated with Rolex, Blue Yonder, VistaJet, Silverleaf Club and TopGolf.
Rahm has also joined the controversial LIV Golf collective.
Homes
As with many golfers, Koepka has made the very exclusive Jupiter Island his home.
The former world No1 spent £2.5million on a stunning four bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom property on the periphery of Jupiter Island in Florida.
The 3,900-square-foot compound was built in 1993, but Koepka spent some of his £25million earnings renovating it.
The Florida-born star completely replaced the swimming pool – making it bigger by using up more of the grounds.
Koepka also rebuilt the boat dock and installed a new fence for greater privacy.

Rahm owned this house in Arizona that boasted a golf course in the garden
Rahm sold the property last year for £1.1million
Spaniard Rahm lived in Scottsdale, Arizona with his beautiful missus Kelley Cahill.
They owned a four-bed property in the affluent spot back in 2017 for around £800,000.
The impressive back garden features its own golf course, as well as a brilliant pool.
However, Rahm recently moved last summer – selling the property for £1.1million.
Wags
Beautiful American actress Jena Sims, 34, married Koepka in 2022.
She competed in the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant in 2007, but failed to place, and has since become an actress and a model.
She has starred in Attack of the 50 foot Cheerleader, a comedy horror movie filmed in 2012.
She also appeared in Three-headed Shark Attack, in which a mutated great white kills former WWE champion Rob Van Dam.
Her other roles include Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, and TV shows, Entourage, Dexter and One Tree Hill.

Jon Rahm and Keeley Cahill have been an item since 2017 and have a son called Kepa
Rahm and Cahill got together at Arizona State University
Rahm and Kelley Cahill have been an item since 2017.
They met at college, both attending Arizona State University and excelling at sport.
Jon and Kelley lived together for two years there before they finally decided to make a go of it.
And the pair were once almost torn apart by a fiercely competitive tennis match they played against each other.
Cahill said: “He’s killing forehands … crosscourt zingers, and I’m thinking, ‘This can’t be right’.
“He was so good. I was so upset. I was actually mad for a day or two. We have not stepped foot on a tennis court since.”
Rahm married Cahill in the Spanish city of Bilbao at the end of 2019.
Cars
Koepka loves his motors, and boasts a £360,000 Rolls-Royce in his collection.
Although, hilariously, he revealed he ran out of petrol on a motorway, and had to walk to a petrol station to fill a tank up before returning to his parked car on a US highway.
It has also been claimed Brooks has a more modest £30,000 Nissan Maxima S.

In his garage you will find a Mercedes Benz 2019 G 63 – with the supercar worth a staggering £250,000.
He was also gifted a Mercedes SLS AMG by the company, which is worth £170,000.
